4. Implementation

As we continue to transition to full implementation of
recommendations, it is essential that momentum is sustained,
delivery supported, and that we maximise the benefits of identified
opportunities.

The range of deliverables from this phase of the review means
that ownership of implementation will sit across many organisations
within the overall enterprise and skills system. In particular, we
expect the new Strategic Board to adopt and oversee delivery of
many of the activities that are articulated within this report.
Details on how these will be implemented and by when should be
included within the wider Strategic Plan.

More immediately, the figure below sets out the Scottish
Government's implementation timetable for the Governance aspects
emanating from the review. It shows that the Strategic Board will
be in place by October 2017, with the South of Scotland benefiting
from a new interim approach, being implemented in the autumn.
